I think ive made this project at least 5 times. Since im so bad at comitting to decisions, I'm not sure if this is my "leaving" project but I just want to mark a sort of end (or at least retirement) to my scratch journey. I love this website so much, it's contributed so much to my childhood and also my own hobbies. I don't think I would have ever found animating fun if i didn't screw around with it for 5 years on a kid's coding website. I believe that scratch's simplistic editor was so intuitive for past-me to get down the basic principles and everything i needed to build a foundation. However, as I have improved I found it harder to work with scratch's limitations and inevitably, I have lost a lot of interest. Every time I log on scratch is really only because of someone sending a link to their project in the cord server, and interaction with the community just doesn't entertain me, as I have grown older. I also have a lot of my scratch friend's and the AMV community's contact info outside of scratch, so that eliminates one of the main purposes of scratch for me, too. :( (So for those who I have contact with, you all know this isn't a goodbye from me since you probably literally see or talk with me every day.) For those who dont, If I know you, feel free to ask for my cord, and if I dont respond ask an active AMVer to invite u to the server (13+), and you can find me there. Anyways, I want to talk about 2025, this past year. I want to start off with a huge thank you to the AMV community for literally saving my animation career. "Manifest" was going to be my last project before quitting animation, but yall's support literally brought me back to the medium, so have the biggest thanks from me. Also, meeting this community, and all the talented ppl in here. ALSO YES i know im in the carrot map so expect that and also some other loose ends i need to tie up for my scratch career So anyways, there are a lot of people I want to thank from my entire scratch career: Nate: First person I met and made friends with from the community, and your support gave me a whole ton of motivation. love seeing you improve and I only wish that you improve a whole bunch more, gl twin. Carrot: oh my days, my fellow glaze buddy. Carrot has my favorite style out of everyone I met, and he's also just a really great jit yfm.
